A Step Forward in Enhancing Victim Assistance Across ASEAN
ASEAN REGIONAL MINE ACTION CENTER

We are thrilled to have participated in the Mine Action Working Group (MAWG) meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam, where we had the privilege to present the Feasibility Study on Physical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Support for Explosive Ordnance (EO) Victims and Persons with Disabilities, under the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund Project.
This study is a key component of our Enhance Victim Assistance Programme in ASEAN Member States, aimed at providing crucial support for those affected by landmines and explosive remnants of war. The presentation sparked important discussions with our partners, and we are incredibly grateful for the invaluable feedback received from all attendees.
A heartfelt thank you to our partners at VNMAC, the Chair and Co-Chair from UNDP, and PeaceTree Vietnam for your continued collaboration and commitment to the project. Your efforts are vital in bringing attention to the voices of victims and ensuring their needs are heard.
We also had the opportunity to brief our partners on the upcoming 5th Review Conference and share the latest updates from the International Secretariat Unit (ISU) on the progress of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.
This event marked a significant step forward in our mission to enhance victim assistance, raise awareness, and strengthen cooperation across the region. We are also excited about the Victim Voices Documentary project, which will further amplify the experiences of those impacted by EO.
Thank you to all the NGOs, task force members, and CMAA for their active participation and unwavering support. Together, we continue to build a more inclusive, safer, and resilient ASEAN.
Let’s keep working hand in hand for a brighter future for all.
